Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 53

1 hold out a hand towards his nose, palm up, and he gently lips my palm, saying
hello, checking to see if I have a snack. Slowly, I raise

my other hand to run over the rich blaze that runs down his face,

stepping close to run a hand over his velvety neck.

“Do you like him?” Kent asks, behind me..

1 turn back and glare at him a little. What a stupid question. Then I

turn back to the beautiful horse as I stroke his silky mane.

“I thought you might,” Kent says, laughing. Then he pauses. “I'm rarely wrong in
my choice of presents. Never, really.”

I freeze at his words. What-

Did he mean

Slowly, I turn back to him and see him smile at my shock.

“He's yours, Fay,” Kent says to me. “If you want him.”

I embarrass myself then by bursting into tears.

Kent nods to the groom, who quickly disappears. Then, laughing. at me a little,
Kent joins me in the stall. He, too, raises a hand for the horse to inspect before
stroking the animal's nose.

“Who knew,” Kent says, looking at the horse. “Here I was trying to cheer you up,
and all I've done is make you cry.” He smiles down

at me. “Guess I'll have to send him back to where he came from.”

“Don't you dare,” I growl at him, giving him a little shove away from my horse.
Then, I bite my lip.

“Really?” I ask, looking up at Kent. “He’s mine?”

Kent shrugs. “This whole stable is mine, full of horses. What's the

harm in you having just one?”

“And I can come and see him?” I ask, desperate for it, hungry with
anticipation.

“Under guard,” he says, looking at me seriously. “Yes, you can come every day, if
you want.”

A smile spreads over my face and I resist the urge to throw my

arms around him, so thrilled am I. But, I have more questions.

“Why?” I ask, a little breathless now. “Why did you do this for

me?”

Kent leans back against the low wall. “Because I could tell you

were miserable, Fay. You might not believe it, but I don't take

pleasure singularly in making people unhappy. I want you to be safe, for Daniel's
sake, as his future bride,” he looks at me carefully, “but there's no reason you
should be so sad about this

I look down at the floor of the stall. Have I been that obvious? I

knew that he noticed, but I wasn't aware that his perception ran so sc deep.

“Also,” he says, standing up straight
again and putting a finger under my

chin to lift my face up. “You have

been a good girl, Fay. I have noticed.

No more illicit trips to the basement,

no more obstinate disobedience.” He
smirks, then. “Or at least, not much.”

I keep my face expressionless, not

really wanting to tell him that I wasn't
being good for his sake. There just
hadn't been a lot of opportunity for
rebellion in the last few weeks. Or I
might have taken it, for the sake of
variety. The content is on

“When those in my care are good,” he
says carefully, studying my face

closely, “they get presents. When

they are bad, they get punished.” He
lowers his face, bringing it closer to
mine. The content is on
